Joe Savery edges out the voting for #20 by a very slim margin, just ahead of both Yohan Flande and Jon Pettibone. Another runoff could have been in order, but I’m just going to go with Savery here since he’s leading, and then the vote can go on as scheduled for #21. The voting between Flande and Pettibone should be interesting, and Leandro Castro was close behind. Kelly Dugan and Julio Rodriguez each got a write-in vote that I saw, Dugan gets the edge because he was the first name listed. So check below for the next round.

We’re going to move things along a bit more quickly now that we’re getting closer to spring training, so we’ll do one poll a day. Mike Stutes edges out the pack for #19. I just very briefly scanned the comments, and Drew Carpenter was the only write in vote I saw, so I’ll add him to this round. Check below for more
Four Phillies scouting reports from BA
This content is free to view, so I’ll link it here. BA profiles Aaron Altherr, Harold Garcia, Troy Hanzawa and Anthony Hewitt on their “32nd player team” which is a list of guys who just missed the cut for the annual Top 30’s, and then missed the cut for #31, which they also include if you buy their book directly from BA. Altherr is the most interesting guy on the list, and a guy I’m interested to see in 2010, though I suspect he’s going to go through plenty of growing pains.

Freddy Galvis is the winner of the run-off for #16, so he takes that spot, with Brian Rosenberg taking #17 by default. We’ll move on to #18 today. Kyrell Hudson and Joe Savery both got write in support, so I’ll add both of them to the voting for #18. Sorry for the delay on the writeup for the next installment of SONAR position by position breakdowns, I’ve been short on time, but I hope to have it done in the next day or two. Check below for more…
Reader Top 30; run-off vote
The voting for #16 is tied and has been within one vote or so for most of the day that I’ve seen, so we’re going to do a run-off vote between Freddy Galvis and Brian Rosenberg. The winner will be #16, the runner up will be #17, and then we’ll move on to #18.
So, vote below. I’ll leave this open for 24 hours.

Moving along. Jiwan James took the #15 spot, edging out a few other candidates. With him slotted in at #15, I thought it would be interesting to look at the breakdown of the top 15 according to you
C [1] – Valle (7th)
1B [1] – Singleton (13th)
2B, 3B, SS [0]
CF [3] – Gillies (4th), Gose (5th), James (15th)
RF [2] – Brown (1st), Santana (6th)
LF [0]
RHP [7] – May (2nd), Aumont (3rd), Ramirez (8th), Cosart (9th), Mathieson (10th), Colvin (12th), De Fratus (14tH)
LHP [1] – Bastardo (11th)
So that’s 7 position players and 8 pitchers so far. Lets move on to #16

The voting for #14 was interesting, as a number of candidates received a decent share of the vote, but Justin De Fratus edged out Brian Rosenberg by a few votes, taking home spot #14. There was write in support for a number of guys last round, but I saw a few more mentions for Freddy Galvis, so I’ll add him. Remember if you vote OTHER to specify who you are writing in for, as just a blind vote for the other option doesn’t tell me the name. Check below for #15

Time is short today, but I figured it would be good to move along the Top 30. Jon Singleton won in a landslide, taking 67% of the votes cast, which seems about right considering how close he was in the last round of voting. There were a few write in votes, but I only have space for one of them, so I’ll add Leandro Castro to the list for #14. Check below for more…

In another squeaker, Brody Colvin edges out Jon Singleton by 10 votes to take the #12 spot on the list. A number of people expressed an interest in Mike Stutes, so he’ll be added to the poll for #13. Also, check back later for SONAR’s take on 2B prospects, which I hope to have finished up soon. Time is short right now, so check below the fold for the new poll…

Antonio Bastardo took #11 in a landslide, grabbing 48% of the votes. I’m going to add Vance Worley, Rosenberg and Jon Pettibone to the ballot for #13, as both were written in for #11 in the comments. I’m currently working on the top 2B prospects in the minors according to SONAR piece, which will be up either today or tomorrow, so check back for that. Check below for the voting for #12
